Two questions re: value

My $.02:
Good grip repair is not a bad thing. I'd call it a wash or slight increase in value over a chip. But it depends on the worksmanship.
Mild cleaning, diluted mineral spirits and a tooth brush is OK, but some here prefer original dirt. Absolutely, without a doubt, Tru-Oil is not appropriate. I have at times used a mixture of mineral spirits, with a few drops of linseed oil and Japan Dryer to clean grips and been very happy with the results.
